8 | You'll use this tool to create, manage or delete print quota entries for users |
---|
9 | or users groups on printers or printers groups. |

13 | By default, before being allowed to print through <application>PyKota</application>, |
---|
14 | an user must exist in the database and have a print quota entry on every printer |
---|
15 | he should be allowed to use. As seen in the previous chapter, the simplest way to add an user named <literal>jerome</literal> to the database is |
---|
16 | to type : |
---|
17 | <screen> |
---|
18 | $ pkusers --add jerome |
---|
19 | </screen> |
---|
20 | |
---|
21 | But this is not sufficient to allow user <literal>jerome</literal> to print. You have to create a print quota entry for <literal>jerome</literal> on all printers |
---|
22 | he is allowed to print to. The easiest way to do so is to type : |
---|
23 | <screen> |
---|
24 | $ edpykota --add jerome |
---|
25 | </screen> |
---|
26 | </para> |
---|
27 | |
---|
28 | <para> |
---|
29 | The commands above have created user <literal>jerome</literal> in the database, and have automatically |
---|
30 | created print quota entries with no limit for this user on all existing printers. This means |
---|
31 | that user <literal>jerome</literal> is allowed to print without limitation, but that full accounting |
---|
32 | will still be done for this user : you'll know whenever he prints and how much. |
